if you want to make a game engine do it,
but as alreayd mention making a reuseable game engine may take a long time but if you just want a one time thing cut out any unessisary feature and hard code as much as you like and youl cut years off the development time.
Home Grown game engine
I honestly think it's a great idea to develop a game engine, but! how can you develop anything more than a shell without knowledge of how to actually make a game? I tried this a few years back and failed. It's better to know how to make an actual game before diving into the engine. It makes sense.

Heh, this whole discussion is moot, really. What's the use in trying to write an engine (or use a pre-existing one) if you don't have simple game logic figured out?
Pong doesn't require a freakin engine. Neither does Tetris.
Make Pong. Make Tetris. Make a game. Don't try using Torque to make Pongtris.
I think arsing yourself over a choice of engine or a decision of an engine design is WAAAY to premature at this point for the OP ... keep in mind, his first 7 words were "I'm looking into becoming a game programmer."
